Is there a command that make the program to pause 10 seconds
not: pause

what program? you mean your batch file?

yes.

ping localhost -n number. or something like that

Edit: DANG!! too slow.. by a few seconds...

Yes remember this : 1400=1 second

set wait=
:pause
set /a wait=%wait%+1
if %wait% leq 14000 goto :pause

Unclean Spirit Wrote:Yes remember this : 1400=1 second

set wait=
:pause
set /a wait=%wait%+1
if %wait% leq 14000 goto :pause

that wouldnt work...

set wait=1
:pause
set /a wait=%wait% +1
if %wait%==14000 goto next
goto pause
:next

should be like that i think..

still credits for solution to you..

zippo's one is better since you can run commands while waiting.
edit: uncleans one

ty for the answers

personally I think mine is better than both. This is because you can just slip that bad boy in there and be all happy about it :D

ok, so i made a few edits to compile this with another batch:

the last echo will not be displayed well it will be displayed for 0.00003 seconds

Echo.
Echo The Wait Program
echo.
echo.
:pause
cls
set /p wait=Please Select How Long You Want To Wait:  
ping localhost -n %wait% >nul
echo ISN'T THIS COOL!!!
ECHO THIS IS AWESOME!!!
echo.
echo.
echo Wow! that was %wait% second(s)!!! Press any key to continue...
pause>nul
:again
cls
set /p exit=Exit? (y / n):  
if %exit%==y exit
if %exit%==n goto :pause
echo Sorry, that is not an answer, please select y or n...
goto :again
